Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

"You bastard! You actually have the nerve to worship my daughter!"

The woman said, taking out another persimmon and throwing it at Kakashi.

At that speed, Kakashi could easily avoid it, but he still stood there, catching the persimmon accurately with his chin, and the juice splashed all over his face...

Hinata Kumikawa did not free his hands to stop him. If he intervened at this time, it would only make the situation worse and make the matter more serious...

"Sorry, I'm leaving first."

Kakashi lowered his head, whispered to Hinata Kumokawa, and then turned to leave. The woman wanted to find something to throw at him, but was stopped by the man following him. She looked at Kakashi's back angrily and cursed...

After a while, the woman got tired of scolding, and Hinata Kumikawa handed back two complete persimmons.

The woman stared at him with red eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"Xing and I were teammates in the same team before."

"Were you present during that mission? Did you see what happened to my daughter? Huh?"

The woman had just calmed down when she heard the word "companion" and became hysterical again. She reached out to grab Hinata Kumokawa's clothes, but was still stopped by the man on the side.

"Stop making trouble, this young master of the Hinata family is not here at all..."

"I don't believe it. He must have seen it. He must have seen my daughter being abandoned by Kakashi Hatake, ah~"

"..."

Of course Hinata Kumokawa saw it, but he hesitated and said nothing. He gave a slight salute to the two elders, turned around and left, and Illya quickly followed.

The two followed Kakashi's back out of the cemetery.

It was cloudy when I went out today, and it was only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was already completely dark, there was a northwest wind, and the temperature was several degrees lower than when I went out.

Hinata Kumokawa opened his mouth and exhaled a burst of white air before being swept away by the wind.

"I'm going home. There might be heavy snow tonight."

"Illya sends Yun Chuan home~"

After coming out of the cemetery, Hinata Kumokawa was a little sad. It was probably infected by Kakashi's declining appearance, and he felt a little unmotivated.

"I'm going home, what about you?"

"Illya sends Yunchuan home!"

The little girl was not infected by Kakashi's aura of decay at all. After staying in the cemetery for so long, she still looked full of energy, but her body was shivering because of the sudden drop in the air.

Hinata Kumokawa sighed and rubbed his hands.

"Forget it, let me take you home~"

……

……

The Chinese New Year is no different from last year.

Put on thick new clothes and set off firecrackers in the snow, go to the master's shop to beg for two paper-cuts and go home, find a suitable place to post them, visit the neighbors, and this year I visited the Zong family again, and there is an extra one in the house. The one who is cheating... refers to Illya.

During the Chinese New Year, the Hokage himself came to visit.

Only then did Hyuga Kumikawa realize that Illya was actually the princess of the Iron Country, and staying in Konoha was actually a commissioned mission...

The days after that returned to monotony.

Naturally, you can't go to Ember Island. The laboratory here is still nominally headed by Orochimaru and assisted by the four Root Tissue Research Institutes. In fact, Orochimaru is often absent.

As for Hinata Kumikawa, he was occasionally forced to help, and spent most of his time practicing at the root organization base.

For some reason, Orochimaru no longer forced Hinata Kumikawa to participate in experiments, and he no longer had to stay in the laboratory every day like last year.

Moreover, Orochimaru began to teach some of his exclusive ninjutsu, and occasionally taught himself some experience in stealth methods. He was also given a set of Anbu clothes, but he did not need to complete the task and he could still receive wages.

In short, for a long time in the future, Hinata Kumokawa lived a very comfortable life. Most of the time he spent in his master's shop and the root organization ant nest, occasionally having private meetings with Hinata Hizashi, or pondering his own small experiments in the laboratory, and... I can guarantee that I can go home every day.

A very small amount of the time, I would be pestered by Illya, or I would have dinner with acquaintances like Kai to exchange feelings...

Again, for more than two years, I almost never took on another task.

Until the day when the anime protagonist teachers graduate collectively...

……

"Congratulations, Kai~"

Hinata Kumokawa handed a pair of arm guards to Metkai as a graduation gift for him.

"Ha! Thanks a lot, Yunchuan!"

Metkai took the arm guard, tied it to his arm in a decent manner, punched to test the weight, and gave Hinata Kumokawa a thumbs up.

Hinata Kumokawa smiled, raised his right hand and made a fist.

Metkai immediately understood and bumped fists with Hinata Kumikawa, showing his big teeth...

"Ahahaha~"

Unfortunately, Kakashi didn't come, which made Metkai a little disappointed.

Hinata Kumokawa raised his head, glanced at all the graduates, and saw Nohara Rin looking around.

It is clear……

Obito was late and Kakashi didn't come.

This graduation ceremony was quite miserable for the little girl, as her two best friends were not present.

"That bastard Obito is late again~"

Metkai couldn't help but complain.

Hinata Kumokawa smiled slightly.

"Maybe... he met an injured kitten on the road, or an old lady with handicapped legs and feet. He is always like this~"

"But it's always wrong to be late. If it were me, I would definitely help ten old ladies and get to school as quickly as possible..."

Suddenly, Hinata Kumokawa felt something in her heart.

Looking in the direction of the target, a half-masked face poked out from the roof not far away, staring at him.

It is the "crow" beside Naruto.

Hinata Kumokawa and Kai joked a little, walked out of the ninja school, and jumped behind the ANBU "Crow".

"senior."

Crow turned around, took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag, and handed it to Hinata Kumokawa.

task?

Hinata Kumokawa took it slightly doubtfully.

Although he has a standard ANBU uniform and a tiger mask, he is still a member of the ANBU training department. He does not belong to the ANBU, but to the "root".

This is also the reason why there have been no tasks for two years.

On the surface, Hinata Kumokawa is still Orochimaru's laboratory assistant.

This time, the ANBU assigned him the task, not Gen... Hinata Kumikawa was a little surprised.

Open the scroll and browse the content quickly.

"Crow" turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared when Hinata Kumokawa opened the scroll.

It's just a clone that delivers messages.

According to the content on the scroll, Hinata Kumokawa served as a scout. The captain was Jounin Yuhi Mako, and there were two other members that were not mentioned in the scroll.

The mission content is to go to Kawakuni and negotiate with the rebellious ninjas of Sunagakure Village. If the negotiations are fruitless, the team can decide whether to fight or evacuate, but it is specially marked to try to find out the purpose of Sunagakure Village this time.

After confirming the meeting time and place, Hinata Kumokawa put away the scroll and jumped from the roof.

"Ah——Kumokawa!?"

"..."

It's Elijah.

The past two years have been a period of rapid growth for teenagers, but as we all know, women crush boys in early development speed, so at this moment, Illya is already a third of a head taller than Hinata Kumikawa, and her figure is gradually moving towards Big girl development.

If Hinata Kumikawa has something to do, who is the person he hates to see the most...

Then it must be Illya.

This girl is too clingy, and she has a special status. She has a very good relationship with Hinata Ling. Hinata Kumikawa can't hit or scold her, she can only coax her~

"Ah! Is the graduation ceremony over yet!?"

Illya shouted after realizing it.

"Not yet, it's still too late to rush over now."

"Then...where is Yunchuan going?"

"You know, I've been very busy..."
